Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 12 pieces Shrimp, cooked and peeled
• 200 grams Pork loin, cooked and thinly sliced
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 6 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro
• 12 leaves Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Crushed peanuts
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles by soaking them in hot water for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Lay out your preparation station by arranging all the fillings (shrimp, pork, noodles, lettuce, herbs, carrots, and cucumbers) around a large bowl of warm water.

Step 3

Dip one rice paper wrapper into warm water for about 5 seconds, ensuring it softens but remains manageable. Lay it flat on a clean, dry surface.

Step 4

Place half a lettuce leaf onto the lower third of the rice paper. Add a small portion of rice vermicelli noodles, 1-2 slices of pork, julienned carrots, cucumber, and a few leaves of mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.

Step 5

Lay 1 shrimp half slightly above the filling for visual appeal once rolled up.

Step 6

Begin rolling the wrapper upward, tightly folding in the sides as you go, creating a neat cylindrical shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 7

To make the peanut dipping sauce, combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and water in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. If desired, add Sriracha for spice. Top with crushed peanuts for an extra crunch.

Step 8

Serve the spring rolls immediately alongside the peanut dipping sauce.
